Status and prospects of the Russian LNG market

LNG production is one of the fastest growing and most investment-attractive industries in Russia.

Large- and medium-capacity LNG production and export projects are in operation: Sakhalin Energy, Yamal LNG, Cryogas-Vysotsk, and Gazprom LNG Portovaya. RusChemAlliance's large-capacity projects in the Baltic Sea and the new Arctic project Murmansk LNG are under implementation.
As of the beginning of 2024, 23 small-capacity LNG units have been built. The main domestic market segments are autonomous gasification and NGVs.
In 2023, the amount of state subsidies for investors of cryo-fuelling stations and small-scale LNG plants exceeded RUB 555 million.

By 2035, we expect to increase LNG production in Russia to 140 million tonnes. tonnes per yearAs well as strengthening its position in this dynamic market with a market share of around 20% due to low production costs and competitive logistics.
